Okay, this started out as a severely poorly-lit picture. But thank heavens for Photoshop! I think it turned out pretty okay-ish?
I've realised close-ups are easier to do than full body shots. Why? Because you don't have to back up and make space. #lazyworkinggurl
You have to admit – this is actually pretty good. Lighting, details, both hands in the picture, no by-standers. It's a pass!
Disembodied arm on the left, can't see the details on the sweater. Next!
So much better. And I even got a smile!
Completely out of focus. I don't even want to talk about this anymore. NEXT!
I got the trees and the fallen leaves in, so matchy-matchy with the look. This may be my favourite of the lot.
Photobombed, again.
My attempt at the all-famous "walking" shot has my subject walking out of the picture. At least she's grinning!
It seems like my photobombers like to come in from the left...
Clearly, my focus needs to be fixed. At least I got the whole look! And also – hey Koo!
Next time, focus on BOTH feet maybe?
Not half bad...
Background? Check! No bystanders? Check! I did miss out the details on her belt, though.
Contrary to the first picture, this started out horribly overexposed. It was almost white. Oh Photoshop, what would we be without you?
I Pretended To Be A Street Style Photographer
It was like, really hard – and I've got the pictures to prove it. Go ahead and grade me, I can take it!
| October 18, 2016Street style photographers don’t have it easy. Not only do they have to bear the biting cold during the fall and winter months, they have to deal with policemen, irritated drivers and well, each other. Everyone wants to get a good shot and there are only those few precious minutes to get it. Little squabbles are bound to happen. Then, there is the literal legwork that they have to do, chasing after subjects who walk uncommonly fast despite their five-inch heels. All that in a bid to get that one perfect shot for you and I, the ferocious followers of street style fashion.
I don’t know about you, but I find it all quite fascinating. In fact, it is one of the more amusing things I find about fashion week. So, instead of just standing idly by this season, I decided to enter the fray and become one with the madness. The observer becomes the subject. Ooooooooh.
Well, sort of. Because I have to stick by Yoyo so we can go into shows together, I didn’t get to shoot anyone else. There goes my authenticity. I’m sure I would be whining a lot more if running was involved. BUT! BUT! BUT! I did take all of the above shots while huddling with the other photographers. Yoyo had no idea that I was snapping her. AND, I even got pushed by a policeman and bumped by a car while at it. I’m so street style photographer.
So…how did I do? (Obviously, those above are the best of the many, many photos that I took. The rest were so embarrassingly out of focus or badly lit that I deleted them – immediately.)
